If I jump, will the pain stay behind?"

If I jump, will the pain stay behind?", originally uploaded by * Ahmad Kavousian *.

I saw this young woman this morning, standing as you see her here. I was caught by the light on her face as I looked at her through my lens. At first I wondered what she was doing then I realized that she intended to jump. I was at some distance away, but just as I realized her intent, police arrived, cordoned off the area, and were able to rescue her. But in that brief moment, I saw her very scared look and was thinking of how to help her.
